Lizzo’s performance of “Break Up Twice” on 'Saturday Night Live' had jaws dropping—and not just because of her outstanding vocal talent. lizzo saturdaynightlive
Social media was abuzz following Lizzo’s performance on Saturday Night Live’s final episode of the year, during which she performed “Break Up Twice” off her latest album Special. While going viral for a jaw-dropping performance isn’t new, the Grammy-winning songstress pulled off something particularly poignant this time.
Many of Annie Lee’s pieces feature women at the forefront; the artist told the Chicago Tribune in 1997, “I think my paintings connect me to women. I know that how I feel is the way a lot of women feel.” This quote, in the context of the exhausted female figure in Blue Monday, brings to mind the “strong Black woman” archetype - the damaging expectation for Black women to remain resilient and persevere through being overworked and abused.
The amazing Lizzo paid homage to one of our great artists Annie Lee and her Blue Monday. Annie Lee was Chief clerk at a railroad to pay bills. Blue Monday possibly her most famous work, and her only self portrait. Say her name!!! #AnnieLee #BLACKARTIST pic.twitter.com/ADXk60hFK3ADVERTISEMENT Lizzo’s homage to Annie Lee’s ‘Blue Monday’ is gonna live rent free in my mind for awhile!
